Mr.. FRENzEL says that if the school board
was embarrassed for funds no German would
ask to have dollar of the 81, 900 now ex-
pended to be spent for teaching the language.
II any German citizen takes the trouble to
read the proceedings of the board he must
naturally be convinced that it is embarrassed
for funds. If the German citizen is guided by

DR.. HENRY ORION, scientist and natu-
ral-gas expert, who has been making a careful
a view of piping gas to Cincinnati, says it
cannot be done. The gas does not exist in
sufficient quantity within piping distance. Nat
ural gas loses for every mile of pipe five pounds
of pressure. This makes very long distance
piping impracticable. At Pittsburg the gas is
piped forty-ive miles, and works we'll. At
Buffalo it is piped eighty miles and is little, if
any. cheaper than coal. For distance of fif-
teen or twenty miles it can be piped very sue
cessfully and furnished at one-third or one
fourth the price of coal.

GAS BY TOWN MEETING.

The utterly Utcpian and chimerical scheme
for Natural Gas by Town Meeting reached its
climax at Tomlinson Hall on Saturday night.
1t will never attain so high point again, and
may be safely treated now as cadaver The
estimable gentlemen appointed by the Mayor
to revise the marvellous preambles and resolu-
tons can be given plenty of time for their
that Wednesday night will find very
many of our busy, practical people ready
and willing to go to Tomlinson Hall again to
discuss the proposition. The Journal was
satisfied of the inutility of the scheme from
the first, but withheld adverse criticism, that
no straw might be laid in the way of any
movement that had in it the faintest promise
of aiding the work of getting natural gas to
Indianapolis. But the most earnest advocates
of the plan must now be satisfied
of its hopeless impracticabiEty. 1t
child's chase after a sunbeam.
However seductive the plan might look
paper, there no foundation to it. OF all
the people of Indianapolis less than five hun
dred responded to the persistent drumming,
and by no means the whole of them were
favorably impressed with the scheme.
1t is nonsense to talk of getting natural gas
by town meeting, or of organizing any sort OF
cooperative company with all the people as
stockholders. One million dollars are needed.
When five hundred people give each
one thousand dollars, and put in bank
half a million in cash, then there
may be foundation upon which
to work for the other five hundred
thousand. How much was pledged or could
have been raised at Saturday nights meeting9
1t is pity that Mr.. Riley's address on taking
the cheer of the Dicktown Association was not
read by tie Mayor as his Introductory speech
1t would have been eminently BETTING, while
it had the advantage of including donation
of an outlying lot upon which to COM
mence boring, which, it will be OBJ
served, is something more in practical
results than was accomplished at the
Tomlinson Hall assemblage. Emil Kennedy's
celebrated Peoples railway scheme appeared
magnificent in the prospectus, and there is
deal of attraction to folks about fat
money. Yet, as a matter of fact, Kennedy's
mammoth railway scheme was not more of a
bubble than this proposed cooperative gas
company. 1t was predicated upon precisely
the same basis, while fiat dollar is transmitted
into Bank of England note when compared
to one of the certificates in this cooperative
association.
Whether this scheme for natural gas by
town meeting was suggested by Mr.. Tigg
Montagu, the well-known promoter of the
Royal Bengalee Insurance Company, or by
Mr.. Harold Skimpole, the equally illustrious
advocate of fiat complete and satisfac- |
tory settlement for his butchers bills, is not |
to the point 1t is to the point that, now that |
the Montagus and the Skimpoes have had |
their day and say, the Council, and the earn
est, practical people of indianapolis should |
proceed to business.

In the closing hours of the session. Sen
ator Hoar criticised in caustic terms the
usurpation of Speaker Carlisle in refusing
to recognize members who proposed legis
latIon which did not meet with the appro-
val of the Speaker. 1t was clearly, dis.
tinctly and unquestionably an unfair and
lndefensible exercise of the authority
vested in the Office. and Mr.. Hoar very
properly characterized it as such. Senator
Blackburn took up the cudgels, and whilst
not undertaking to meet the charges of
Mir. Hoar. or in any wise defend the action
of the Speaker, launched forth into q
eulogy of MIR. Carlisle, and discourteous
personal illusions to Senator Hoar, There
at the Democratic press teens with praises
of Blackburn, magnifying his effort into
mereiiess castigation-a complete ami
hilation of the Massachusetts Senator.
Now, right here, we want to put on re-
cord a prediction. 1t is this; Before the
end Of the next campaign every Demo.
cratic stump speaker in Virginia Will be
and reiterating the very charges
for which they profess to condemn Senator
Hoar now. When arraigned before the
people for their broken promises and un-
kept faith, their defense will be that the
ruling of Mr.. Carlisle prevented
he repeal of the tax on tobacco : that but !!
or the grossest usurpation on the part of |
he Speaker, portion of the internal |
evenue" would have been thing of the
'ast. Then Carlisle will be damned and
loudly damned from every hastings, and
he very men who are now unfolding and
his defender. will be loud
nouthed and unsparing in their condem-
alton. Mark the prediction,
